Bears in Cars and Backyards | Denver News

Bears are on the move in Colorado, with over 6,000 sightings this year—nearly double last year’s total—thanks to drought and wildfires forcing them into neighborhoods. A young bear recently broke into a car for food, sparking a statewide safety alert. Experts urge locking car doors, securing trash, and never feeding bears. If you spot one, don’t run—back away slowly, stand your ground, and fight back if necessary. It’s everyone’s job to keep bears wild and communities safe.
